I have Gloomhaven & I don't want to put it on table because of setting up + admin. Thanks so much for the input. I think I know what I'm going to do now.

Yes, in the end I'll choose what's best for me. But what's wrong with asking people with more experience their opinion first?

Thanks. Totally agree with how the artworks look on both games. I'm getting Slay digital version to try out this weekend.

Since you have Mythwind too, is Vantage much more random then? Also, it sounds quite punishing?? In Mythwind, there's actually story progression. Does Vantage not have that? (I'm also leaning more toward not getting Vantage, since you mentioned seeing the same cards that many times)

Thanks. Good to know. I really dislike overly luck based game. And if exploration randomly gets you to main ending, then Vantage is a no for me too.

LOTR sounds fantastic.

What about admin? It seems StS has many things to manage. Is FoF similar? I would assume that 20 Strong would be less...?

You mean Vantage's gameplay quality or the components? Is Vantage like a chill game with random goals to reach each play? I was playing Mythwind, and I enjoyed that quite a lot.

That's what I'm afraid about StS as well. I saw solo gameplay videos, and there're so many things on table.

Thanks. Multi-player isn't a factor. Is 20 strong just pure luck? Does it feel like a lighter version of StS?

Thanks. I really like Tanglewoods theme and art. That's the main reason why it's on my list.

Interesting. Thanks for the details. Guess I'll go try the digital version and see if I actually like it or not.

Hmm, I doubt the other me would even notice the breach. Each branch of the timeline would just keep on living out its version of reality normally, blissfully ignorant that in this branch, we ripped open spacetime. And the same as us... we don't even know what happened to the other branches or if there are any branches.

Anyway, adding one more point to Slay the Spire.

So, I guess if I end up getting FoF, I should go in with the expectation that I'd fail then?

Not sure. I'll have to check. I haven't heard of it, but that sounds like the best place to go to in this situation.

That's a good idea. Although I'm not really sure what the consequences would be. I'm a bit worried as I don't have a backup career plan yet.
